Horrible spots on my neck - what's the most effective treatment?

Hello ladies,

This past year I have developed spots on my neck, mainly around my jaw line and some on the front (below my chin). I am in my 30s & never had that much of a problem with spots before, just the odd one on my face which I can live with!

However, these ones on my neck very noticable and I will never tie my hair up. I think it's verging on acne...if it isn't already!

I've tried Clearisil & Clean & Clear products and they have no effect. Does anyone know of any effective treatments? I am getting so paraniod about them. They're so obvious.

Hello - do they come to a head or are they sore and under the skin. If the latter then it's probably cystic acne. And welcome to the club. I was spot free until I was 28. Go to your GP and ask to be referred to a dermatologist. Mine have never gone and are hormonal but they are under control.

Good luck

Thank you Alice! Can't believe I'm talking about spots at nearly 35 years of age!!

They're a kind of mix between the two They are lumps under the skin, not sore, can sometimes squeeze them. They tend to come in a small cluster of 2 or 3. Yeah, I think I may have to visit the GP. Do you take medication for your skin Alice? I'm already on Thyroxine which I need to be on for life so would be reluctant to take any further medication.

Hey Iv had the exact thing as you! I went to the docter and got amoxicillin to apply to the skin , comes I a white bottle after a week mine have completely gone and havnt come back at all ! Since October , I apply it to my whole neck and jaw line 2 times a day even tho there's nothing there just in case thy come back , I had them awful for around 6 years xxx
